Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 810 The Haunted Dormitory 17

Rule 1: Shouting and making loud noises are prohibited.

Rule 2: No going out after 10 p.m.

Rule 3: A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Residents in the same building should live in harmony. If a neighbor invites you to their home, you should not refuse.

Rule 4: Not everyone who lives in a building is a person.

Rule 5: If you hear cats or dogs barking in the middle of the night, ask the security guard for help to chase them away.

Rule Six: Physical exercise is very important; people with poor physical fitness are more likely to suffer.

Rule Seven: Remember this!! Only people can leave!!

Yeltsin stroked his chin and said, "The rules this time are much more vague, and many things are not as clearly stated as they were in the first round."

Zhao Lu nodded, then pointed to the rules on the wall and began to speak.

"The second rule contradicts the fifth rule. The second rule says that you can't go out after 10 p.m., but the fifth rule says that if you hear cats or dogs barking in the middle of the night, you should ask the security guard for help."

After Ji Yan memorized all the rules, he asked, "Are there supposed to be real and fake rules, and we have to judge for ourselves which one is right and which one is wrong?"

Zhang Siyu frowned and pointed to rule four: "This rule says that not everyone living in the building is human. Does that mean the original residents of the building are all ghosts? We're supposed to be visiting them? That's scary!"

Xu Siyao remained silent, looking at Rules Six and Seven, and had an idea in mind.

"Siyao, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Siyu asked her.

"Rule Six says that people with poor physical fitness are more likely to suffer losses, and Rule Seven says that those who can walk out are all human beings. I think this time they might take action."

"You mean us and the original residents? They'll transform and eat us?"

Ji Yan offered his opinion: "Not necessarily. Maybe it will be players killing each other, and it might even be mandatory."

"Huh? Are we really going to start killing each other right now?"

Zhang Siyu felt that after entering this haunted dormitory, such a scene might happen sooner or later.

But she didn't expect it to come so quickly, and she looked at Xu Siyao seeking comfort and answers.

Xu Siyao nodded: "Ji Yan is probably right. I think this is also a battle between players."

Why does Rule 7 emphasize that only people can leave? And Rule 4, it seems, is referring to more than just the original residents.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Siyu's last shred of hope vanished: "Is it too late for me to cram at the last minute? I need to make the most of every second to exercise."

Upon seeing this, the group chuckled softly, trying their best not to make too much noise.

After laughing, Xu Siyao asked the others, "Let's go find rooms first. Which floor would you like to stay on?"

Ji Yan walked to the edge of the balcony and looked down. Most of the people gathered downstairs had already dispersed and were probably starting to choose rooms.

"There are a total of sixteen floors. The middle floors, the seventh and eighth floors are convenient to go up and down, but I think many people think this way."

Zhang Siyu looked at everyone and said, "Then should we stay on the sixth or ninth floor? Those two numbers sound quite auspicious?"

"Xu Siyao, what do you think?" Yeltsin suddenly asked.

The previous level's monsters were difficult to deal with, and he had been cautious and careful not to give them a chance to eat him.

Therefore, he was very curious about what made Xu Siyao so special that she could get first place and even earn the title of "Nemesis of Eerie Things".

Ji Yan glanced at him, then turned her gaze to Xu Siyao.

Zhao Lu and Zhang Siyu also wanted to hear what Xu Siyao had to say.

Xu Siyao glanced across the balcony: "There are ten households on one floor. If I had to choose, I would choose to live on the fourth floor."

"Why?" Yeltsin asked, unable to figure out why she had chosen the fourth floor.

Ji Yan understood what Xu Siyao meant, and he followed her gaze to the opposite balcony.

"Rule number three says that neighbors should love and respect each other. Our neighbors have already noticed us, so wouldn't it be impolite to leave now?"

"Yes, that is indeed impolite." Xu Siyao nodded, confirming that his meaning was the same as hers.

Ji Yan smiled, sensing the unspoken understanding between the two.

Upon hearing this, Yeltsin and the others also looked across at the other side.

At first, I didn't see anything wrong, but upon closer inspection, I noticed a window next to the door of one of the houses.

The curtains in that window were slightly ajar, and there seemed to be a faint shadow watching them from inside.

They kept watching, and after a while, the shadow left.

"Is this a person or a ghost?" Zhang Siyu asked in a low voice, holding Xu Siyao's arm tightly.

Before Xu Siyao could speak, Zhao Lu interjected, "Rule Seven says that those who can leave are human. Do you still think they are human?"

"Now our neighbors are watching us. We might actually be invited over, but we don't know who will go first, or which rooms we'll choose to stay in."

Although Zhang Siyu was a little scared, she felt okay because she had so many companions.

They were standing at the bottom of the building. Xu Siyao walked straight ahead, and the others followed.

Just as they were about to reach the other side, Yeltsin spoke up: "You want to stay in the room next to the neighbor who was watching us?"

“Yes.” As she spoke, Xu Siyao walked to the side of the original resident’s house and pushed open the door of the next house.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Siyu quickly pushed open the door of the house next to hers.

Yeltsin and Ji Yan decided to let the girls choose first, and only after Zhao Lu chose the girl next to Zhang Siyu did the two of them make their choices.

Ji Yan chose the other side of Xu Siyao, with the original residents who had just watched them standing between them.

Yeltsin chose the house next to him, which meant that the girl lived on the left side of the original resident's house and the boy on the right side, effectively surrounding the original resident's house.

Besides them, there are four other rooms on this floor. Two of them are occupied by the original residents, and the other two are empty.

After Xu Siyao finished reading, she went into her apartment.

As soon as you walk in, you see a small living room with the curtains drawn tightly, making the room very dark.

She simply drew back the curtains, letting the dim light from outside into the room—better than nothing, I suppose.

The living room contained an old leather sofa and coffee table, as well as a TV cabinet, but there was no television.

The house has a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, an empty small kitchen, and a small master bedroom and a second bedroom.

The bedroom contained only an empty wardrobe and a wooden bed without sheets; there was nothing else.

Although the house looks like it hasn't been lived in for a long time, there's hardly any dust anywhere, so it's barely habitable.

Xu Siyao pressed the switch on the wall. There was no electricity, which meant they would have to fumble in the dark.

She took out a few candles and a lighter from her storage space and put them in the coffee table drawer, intending to distribute them to the group later.

"Siyao, it's so dark where I am. I feel like it'll be hard to stay up alone at night."

Zhang Siyu's voice came from the doorway, and she walked in as well.

Everyone else came here too, and somehow, everyone started to feel that Xu Siyao was the center of attention.
